Interstate Commerce Act Putting Rail
roads on their Metal
IMPROVED SERVICE AND FASTER TIME
TAKE THE PLACE OF COMBINATIONS
IN THE STRUGGLE FOR TRADE
UNDER THE NEW LAW.

There are as many theories in re-
gard TO the Interstate commerce act as
there are speculations in reference to
the effect of the new law. Most of the
railroad managers insist that il will
have a disastrous influence on the
transportation business, while others
who by careful consideration of the
subject, without pecnniary interest in
II, take the opposite view. Between
these conflicting opinions it is difficult
to arrive at correct estimate of the
matter. One thing is certain, however,
that will be commended, That is, that
most of the railroad companies have
accepted the situation in good humor
and with apparent good faith, aud
have endeavored TO conform their
affairs to the new conditions. 1t may
be remarked, that the railroad compan-
les are striving to earn by better ser
vice the patronage that was previously y
obtained by combinations or pooling
processes, and that change is certainly
for the better.
This fact was demonstrated by Mr..
Z. q. Beeber. the eastern passenger
agent of the Vandalia system, in a
conversation with reporter the other
day. "Yes,' Mr.. Beeber remarked,
''our system has accepted the con.
ditions of the new law. No doubt it
will break up the combinations by
which we were enabled to get business
from toe eastern roads, but we antici-
pate no material loss from that fact.
We will try by affording the best ac-
commodations and the fastest trains to
hold our own. For instance,
the fastest lime ever made ia this
country for eighteen continuous

Carlisle for Cleveland.

A ST. Louis dispatch, dated April Is,
says:
Congressman Carlisle and wife
passed through St. Louis to- day on
their way to Wichita, Kan, to visit
their two sons living there. When
asked what he thought of the claim
that the Democrats were losing ground,
Mr.. Carlisle answered:
81 don't see where we are losing.
We have not lost single State yet
which we have had, but, on the other
hand, have gained one-Rhode Island
and l think we stand very good
chance of getting Massachusetts. That
does not look like losing ground. The
Democrats will certainly carry the
country at the next Presidential elec.
ton"
"Who will be the nominee p
ooh, Mr.. Cleveland, l suppose. l
don't think there's much doubt about
that"
"He is your choice?"
"Yes; l think he ought to be re-
nominated. In fact it would not be
advisable, in my opinion, for us to at,
tempt TO make any change"
"Can he get the support of the
South?'
"For the nomination, do you mean 7
l think so, and ] am quite sure he
could carry it at the election"

Abraham Linooln's Body,

On April ID, the remains of Presi.
dent and Mrs. Lincoln we're privately
taken from their secret resting place 10
Springfield ard inferred in the north
vault of the Lincoln monument in Oak
Ridge Cemetery. Less than dozen
persons, members of the Lincoln Monu-
ment Association and Lincoln Guard
of Honor, were present. For years
the whereabouts of the remains of the
great President and his wife have been
kept secret from anxiety that they
would be stolen. The actdal attempt
to carry off his body in 1876 was the
moving cause of the formation of the
guard of honor, which organization
secre,ed it and have just surrendered
the charge.
The secret grave was directly under
the north base of the obelisk, about
thirty feet from the north entrance but
only accessible through the south door.
The body of Mr.. Lincoln was in a
walnut coffin, lined with an air tight
lead lining about one. eighth of an inch
thick. The walnut coffin was in q
cedar box and the cedar box was in
closed in a pine box. Mrs. Lincoln's
remains were similarly lnclosed. When
the lid of the Presidents coffin was re.
moved, his face was seen to be in q re-
markable state of preservation. Those
who stood around aud had known Lin.
coin when alive, easily discerned the
features. They were very distinct.
The sil> or plate on the coffin lid was
bright.
While the remains of Mr.. Lincoln
were exposed to view General Reese,
president of the Guards OF Honor,
tlrned the remains of Mr.. Lincoln over
to the Lincoln Monument Association.
The coffin was then sealed up and
taken out by the workmen and carried
around to the vault on the north side.
The members of the two associations,
and a stranger or two who happened
to be looking at the monument fol-
lowed. In the north vault the floor
had been taken up. A hole eight feet
long, by six VIDE, and five and half
feet deep, bricked up and cemented,
had been prepared.
The Presidents coffin was placed in
this grave, on the west side. The cof
fin containing Mrs. Lincoln's remains,
which had peen brought from the se-
cret grave before the other coffin, was
then brought to the vault and placed
ON the east side of her husband. A
brick arch was then built over the cof-
Inns. This was covered with cement,
mixed with small, broken rock.
The marble sarcopbagus, in which
the public have supposed the remains
to be, is still in the vault.

"Only three Presidents before Mr..
Cleveland" says the Washington Star,

their semi-centennials while in that
Office. Thnse were James X. Polk,
Franklin Pierce and General Grant.
James A. Garfield would have been
fifty years old had Guiteau's bullet been

work. President Cleveland has the
advantage in years of many of his
predecessors. Washington was fifty.

Adams, sixty-two, Jefferson, Madison,
and John Quincy Adams, fifty-eigbti
Monroe was fifty-nine, Jackson, sixty

youngest and Harrison the Oldest Of
the Presidents.

WASHINGTON LETTER
.om our Regular Correspondent


WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1s, 1887.
The Commissioners of the District
of Columbia have done all in their pow
er to make Sunday "blue" in Washing
ton. They have resurrected the old
"closing laws which have long mould
cred 10 the statute book and are rigid
ly enforcing them. Not only saloons,
but every sort of an establishment
where trade is carried on for profit, ex-
cept apo,heoary shops aud undertaking
establishments, are to be tightly clos,
ed
Yesterday was the second Sunday
since the old, new law went into effect.
On the preceding Sunday crowds of
thirsty men were seen leaving the "dry'
city and going in the direction of the
taverns on the country roads in the vi
cinity. Long before dark the suburban
bars were "closed", not because it was
Sunday, nut because their supply of H.
guilds was exhausted. There was no de-
ticiency yesterday at these places. Dur
ing the week beer wagons and grocery
teams from the city stocked all the
country hotels, taverns and "road-
houses" with liquor sufficient to supply
the expected demand.
A close observer of the dietetic habits
of the Cabinet has discovered, and given
to the world the result of his research
es, that the only total abstainer who
sits at Mr.. Cleveland's Council Board
is Attorney General Garland. He also
discovered that Secretary Whitney's 3
liquor bills were very large, owing to
his liberal hospitality. If anything
were needed, however, to demonstrate
the leaning of the President towards
the temperance cause, it is only neoes-
sary to point to the recent example set
in this respect by the mistress of the
White House, who, without the least
trace of fauaticism or intolerance,
occupies the position that the drinking
OF intoxicating liquors is neither a
proper thing 10 dc nor to encourage.
1t will be remembered that when at
the Diplomatic State dinner the Gus
tomary seven or eight wines were serv-

ality continues to afford much mater

most trivial sayings and doings, and
many things which she has never said
or done, are constantly printed. She

tlrement and rest at the President :

not been to the White House for a
fortnight.
The novel proposition has been made
that all the ladies who have presided
as hostess of the Executive Mansion
make arrangements for meeting and
reception in Washington. All the for.
mer Presidents have passed away, but
there aie still living eleven ladies who
have occupied the position of first lad y
of the land. These are the widow OF
President Tyler aud Mrs. Semple, hel
slep-daughter, now au inmate of the

the period between her own mothers
death aud the second marriage of her
father, was the head OF his household

The dispute between President Judge
Furst and Associate Judges Mccarthy
and Foreman, of Huntingdon, is a
somewhat startling reminder of the
usually slumbering power of lay Asso-
ciate Judges in Pennsylvania. In the
case referred to, the Associates over
ruled the President Judge, not merely
on question of judicial discretion, but
on question of law. Judge Furst
delivered written opinion declaring
that, under the law as interpreted by
the Supreme Court, the court was
bound to grant licenses where there
was visible need for them and no law
full objections to the applicant; but the
Associate Judges overraled the Pres
ident Judges construction of the law
and practically enforced prohibition by
refusing all licenses.
1t is proposed to appeal the case to
the Supreme Court; but we don't see
what remedy is afforded there. The
granting of licenses is so largely a
matter of Judicial discretion that the
Supreme Court would not be likely to
make law mandatory that is not ac-
cepted as made mandatory by the let
ter or spirit of the statute. Other
courts of the State have interpreted
the license laws as warranting the abb
solute refusal of licenses on grounds of
public policy; and the fact that the de-
cision is made in Huntingdon by the
Associate Judges in reversal of the Pres
ident or La Judge of the court, does
not in any way impair the sanctity of
Of the judgment.
1t is not generally known, but it is
none the less true, that the Associate
Judge is as potential as the President
Judge when the judgment of the Court
is TO be rendered. II is rare that the
lay Associate Judge assumes to over
rule the President Judge on a question
of law, but it is not because it is not
his prerogalive to do 80. The Hunt
ingdon Associates in the case in ques-
ton rendered the judgment OF the
Court, and Judge Furst is simply in
the minority of one with two agains.
